The Best Maternity Dungarees

Maternity dungarees are the perfect pregnancy outfit: practical, comfortable, stylish and versatile. Because we know you've got more on your mind than trawling the highstreet, we've done some research so you don't have to! Check out our favourites from these designer and high street brands.

Dungarees may have a reputation for being informal, lounge-about clothes, but French maternity brand Envie de Fraise has added its own je ne sais quoi to this classic look. Note the pinafore front - elegantly cut to both cover your bump and flatter your upper body.

Pregnancy isn't the easiest experience so finding clothes that are comfortable suddenly becomes your main priority. These black dungarees are made from a super-stretchy jersey fabric, perfect for lounging about in on the sofa. Not that you can't wear them if you're going out too: team with a Breton tee and some stylish flats and you've got yourself a chic little ensemble.

Dungaree dresses really come into their own when you add in a baby bump and this frock from Jojo Maman Bebe is guaranteed to become a stalwart of your pregnancy wardrobe. With five pockets there's always somewhere to put something, plus you'll be glad of the adjustable opening at the side towards the end of those nine months.

Just because you're expecting doesn't mean you can't still enjoy being on-trend. With distressed patches on the front pocket and down the legs, and a boyfriend jean cut, these maternity dungarees from Boohoo.com are a great casual option.

An ideal option for a spring or summer pregnancy, these dungarees have a stone-wash finish, which looks great layered over a simple white tee. Complete this trend-led look by setting off the roll-up ankles with a pair of white trainers or some strappy sandals.

These dungaree shorts are a great way to get out your legs without feeling self-conscious. Cut to support your bump, a waistband sits under your stomach, and there are adjustable straps, which you can loosen as your baby grows. Plus, you can mix and match the white denim with virtually any colour top.

Don't think dungarees always have to be denim. This pink pair from Clary & Peg is perfect for a lazy summer's day. With five pockets in total, adjustable straps to fit your growing bump and vintage brass button details, they’re worth investing in for during and after your pregnancy.

If you're mourning the fact that you can't fit into your favourite pair of skinny jeans, try these black dungarees on for size. The tapered skinny leg gives them a fashion-forward shape, while the denim has 2% elastane so there's just the hint of stretch. Whether it's for a day at the office or a walk in the park, you'll turn to these dungarees again and again, so it's great that they've been designed to last the whole of your pregnancy.

There's something very retro about this look - a cross between denim dungarees and a quirky little jumpsuit - but it's supremely practical too. Undo the four buttons at the front, for when the baby's come and you want to breastfeed, and get the fit just right for you with an adjustable sash at the back. The cuffed ankles are a sweet addition and also very flattering.

When you find a maternity outfit that works for the office, is comfy and fashionable - don't hesitate, just buy it! This stretch-jersey playsuit is one such look, plus, it’s will fit all nine months of your pregnancy, another reason you'll get a good bit of mileage out of it.
